The concept of democracy is not new in India, as the substance of self-government lies imbedded in our past history. In ancient India may kingdoms or mahajanpads were republics as the king was elected. Later, during the British rule, limited voting rights were given to few categories of people. In 1947, India emerged as a democratic country and citizens had the right to vote. Today, she is the largest democracy in the world.
